Okay, folks... just some propaganda from The Register...

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/22/mac_trojan_attack/

Basically, they're using a fear tactic to get people to use 
legally-purchased software (an old tactic, but it's been a few months 
since they tried it), and Apple's already said they're no longer going 
to require a serial number in order to make the software operational 
anyway... so if anyone's going to copy iWork for the Mac, the 
instructions for doing so are (and I quote from the above article): 
"borrow your coworker's disk".

Interesting, and potentially the mark of a turn of events for the better?
